ByPam

If you want to help the Black Lives Movement and combat racism, start with your own bookshelf. Snag these books ASAP.

How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi

So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo

We Got This.: Equity, Access, and the Quest to Be Who Our Students Need Us to Be by  Cornelius Minor

 

So. All of these great titles are non-fiction. And they’re not geared to children. But if you interact with children, children of all colors and ethnicities and abilities and orientations, you need to read these titles. You’ll learn how to view the world as people who have been “othered” do and if you listen carefully, you’ll learn how to be better.

The Diversity Reading Challenge can also apply to non-fiction and adult titles as well, so count these in!
